Background: Treatment with bardoxolone methyl (Bard) in a multinational phase 3 trial, Bardoxolone Methyl Evaluation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes (BEACON), resulted in increases in estimated glomerular filtration rate with concurrent reductions in serum magnesium. We analyzed data from several trials to characterize reductions in magnesium with Bard. Methods: BEACON randomized patients (n = 2,185) with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) 1:1 to receive Bard (20 mg) or placebo once daily. In a separate open-label study, magnesium levels from 24-hour urine and sublingual epithelial cell samples were analyzed in patients with stage 3b-4 CKD and T2DM administered 20 mg Bard for 56 consecutive days. Results: BEACON patients randomized to Bard experienced significant reductions in serum magnesium from baseline relative to patients randomized to placebo (–0.17 mEq/L, 95% CI –0.18 to –0.60 mEq/L; p < 0.001). A separate study showed intracellular and urinary magnesium levels were unchanged with Bard treatment. Conclusions: Bard treatment results in significant decreases in serum magnesium that are not associated with changes in intracellular and urinary magnesium levels, indicating that magnesium decreases are not due to renal magnesium wasting or total body magnesium depletion. Importantly, the decreases in serum magnesium with Bard are not associated with adverse effects on QT interval.

Background: Increases in measured inulin clearance, measured creatinine clearance, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) have been observed with bardoxolone methyl in 7 studies enrolling approximately 2,600 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The largest of these studies was Bardoxolone Methyl Evaluation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes (BEACON), a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial which enrolled patients with T2D and CKD stage 4. The BEACON trial was terminated after preliminary analyses showed that patients randomized to bardoxolone methyl experienced significantly higher rates of heart failure events. We performed post-hoc analyses to characterize changes in kidney function induced by bardoxolone methyl. Methods: Patients in ­BEACON (n = 2,185) were randomized 1: 1 to receive once-daily bardoxolone methyl (20 mg) or placebo. We compared the effects of bardoxolone methyl and placebo on a post-hoc composite renal endpoint consisting of ≥30% decline from baseline in eGFR, eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2, and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) events (provision of dialysis or kidney transplantation). Results: Consistent with prior studies, patients randomized to bardoxolone methyl experienced mean increases in eGFR that were sustained through study week 48. Moreover, increases in eGFR from baseline were sustained 4 weeks after cessation of treatment. Patients randomized to bardoxolone methyl were significantly less likely to experience the composite renal endpoint (hazards ratio 0.48 [95% CI 0.36–0.64]; p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Bardoxolone methyl preserves kidney function and may delay the onset of ESRD in patients with T2D and stage 4 CKD.

Background: To evaluate the renoprotective effects of canagliflozin, we assessed the albuminuria-lowering effect in Japanese type 2 diabetes patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: In this prospective, open-label, parallel-group study, type 2 diabetes patients with CKD were randomized to receive either oral canagliflozin (100 mg/day) or usual care (control group) for 52 weeks. Endpoints included changes in urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), other urinary biomarkers, laboratory parameters, and adverse events. Results: Both groups included 20 patients in the analysis. Mean changes in UACR was −83 (−266 to −31) mg/gCr and 27 (−11 to 131) mg/gCr, in the canagliflozin and control groups, respectively ( p = 0.004). Urinary liver-type free acid binding protein, N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase, and β2-microglobulin levels were also significantly decreased in the canagliflozin group, but not in the control group. Mean change in estimated glomerular filtration rate at the end of the study was 0.7 and −3.4 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the canagliflozin and control group, respectively ( p = 0.024). Canagliflozin treatment led to improvement of glycaemic control and reduction in body weight, blood pressure, and liver transaminase. There were no adverse events associated with canagliflozin. Conclusion: Canagliflozin was associated with slower progression of kidney disease and reduction in albuminuria and tubulointerstitial markers in diabetes patients with CKD.
